I have replaced 16 triangles by 8 quads.

I like the 16 triangles better.  It makes it easier to split the primitive
into sections if I need to.

The motivation is that 4-4disc is used by "stud" primitive. So I expect a
small speed improvement (still to be demonstrated).

(...) Most programs that use DAT files as the sources file for a rendered image break all the quads into triangles anyway. Technically, this change would slow down the conversion process (though you would need a *lot* of studs) -Orion (22 years ago, 14-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
